The Al Franken Podcast

A five-time Emmy winning SNL comedy writer/producer, joins a four-time #1 NYT bestselling author, a three-time highest-rated national progressive radio host, a two-time Grammy winning artist, and a former US Senator. So, it gets a little crowded in the booth when Al talks public policy and sometimes political comedy with notable guests. Think “The Daily” without the resources of the NYTimes.
Hosts & Guests
Great: ya know—for a change!

Al Franken’s podcast is where sharp political insight meets razor wit. With A-list guests and Franken’s trademark self-deprecating humor, it’s like getting the inside scoop from the funny, snarky guy in the war room. Must listen!
Lousy voice mixing
Apr 6
Again this week the guest voice is at a lower volume than Al’s. If you hear Al at a comfortable level the guest is hard to hear. If you raise the guest’s voice to a proper level Al sounds like he is shouting. This happened last week as well.
My feelings precisely!

I wait until late Saturday night for your podcast Al. You’re a critical voice, which we desperately need now. Thanks for all you’re doing.

Long time listener! Please talk about the two races for the House in Florida! These seats need to be Flipped Blue!
Al Franken for president
Mar 3
I’ve read a couple of Al’s books and listen to his frank honest podcast. I pray for Al to run for Mn U.S. senate. We need a man with a spine and brain to represent us.

Too bad about Mark Liebovitz; always disappointed at his "takes" versus bringing facts.
Do Something
Feb 25
I am writing with an idea for a message which I hope can be used to reinvigorate support for Democratic Party candidates. It is based on the fact that the general public/electorate is frustrated by the current state of society. What about a reform of the tax laws? Let’s totally simplify the process. How about giving the middle class tax payer a 20% reduction to their last year’s taxes every year. To pay for it, raise the taxes for millionaires/ billionaires an absolute 5%. Make all corporations pay a minimum tax based on income, not profit. Maybe you can pass this along to your Democratic friends to see if it will take seed.
Stupid questions
Mar 2
Your interview skills have evaporated. How do you think people are reacting to 3 years of war, unimaginable numbers of dead, & sirens? Tim Mak sharing the derogatory nickname for President Zelenskyy is regretful. And the Ukrainians “owe” us nothing. We should have brought them back into NATO while President Biden was still in office.
